Orenthal James Simpson was sentenced today to at least fifteen years in the slammer for his hotel armed robbery after a judge rejected his apology and said, “It was much more than stupidity.”
The 61-year-old football Hall of Famer stood shackled and stone-faced when Judge Jackie Glass quickly rattled off his punishment soon after he made a rambling, five-minute plea for leniency, choking back tears as he told her: “I didn’t want to steal anything from anyone. … I’m sorry, sorry.”
The judge said several times that her sentence in the Las Vegas case had nothing to do with Simpson’s 1994 acquittal in the slaying of his ex-wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ronald Goldman.
“I’m not here to try and cause any retribution or any payback for anything else,” Glass said.
Simpson was immediately led away to prison after the judge refused to permit him to go free on bail while he appeals.
Outside court, Goldman’s father, Fred Goldman, and sister, Kim, said they were thrilled with the sentence.
“There’s never closure. Ron is always gone. What we have is satisfaction that this monster is where he belongs behind bars,” Fred Goldman said.
Good riddance, OJ.
It’s not long enough but I’ll take what I can get.
I SET THEE FREE Christie Prody …
GO AND HAVE NO MORE “ACCIDENTS” (FOR 5-9 YEARS)
i’m a black chik.
oj killed his ex-wife nicole brown.
oj got away with it.
oj is most likely going to get shanked and killed by his prison mates.
so this is really like a death sentence.
i always knew that that denise brown was going to see her sister avenged. (didn’t you all get that serious wicca mojo vengence vibe from her?)
no women, no kids (the professional) motherfucker.
good things.
